If you don't love Dick Vermeil, there's something wrong with you.
Congrats, coach! |

The way Vermeil built the best offense in the league out of retreads and spare parts is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen a coach do.
It's easy to forget how crazy it really was. Trent Green was 31 years old with only 19 career starts. Priest was 28 and two years removed from his only season as a primary ball carrier, including college. Kennison had quit on Denver after bouncing around three teams in three years. Wiegmann was an undersized 28 year old career backup. Waters was a converted TE. Roaf was 32 and coming off a blown out knee; the Saints even tried to put him in the expansion draft but couldn't, because he couldn't pass a physical. |

I remember being upset when Vermeil missed the playoffs in 2005 with a good 10-6 team before retiring. There's a good chance that team would've been one and done again, but I also felt that team could've made some noise too. Somehow a shitty Broncos team with Jake Plummer and Mike Anderson went 13-3 and hosted the AFC Championship that year.

basically he coin flipped into Kurt Warner, Trent Green's knee going out, and into the HOF
![]() He was a .500 coach who had 8 losing seasons in 15 years

I'm guessing his speech will include the "World Champions 1999 St. Louis Rams"

I'm no fan of his. Sure enough he won a couple SBs, but what did he do for the KC Chiefs? He couldn't even win a playoff game.

This is about like putting Gary Kubiak in the HOF

Cool. I always liked him. Too bad he didn't know how to put together a competent defense.
